Olmsted Medical Center got such a good employee response to its first diabetes simulation that it has expanded the program and opened it to friends, co-workers and loved ones of area diabetics.
The simulation helps people without diabetes get a sense of what managing the disease is really like.
Participants must record how many carbohydrates they eat ? every time they eat ? for a week. They also note exercise, check blood sugar by pricking a finger four times a day and give themselves injections of fake insulin.

Ought to be compulsory for all HCPs who have to deal with people with diabetes 🙂
